Hi, I read all the discussion because I found a similar problem in my iMac (late 2013,21 inch): As you can see in the picture the capacitor exploded and I get black smoke out and when I connect the iMac with the LCD panel still stinks of smoke. Without the panel the machine boots flawlessly, by connecting an external monitor I can get it working. I need the rating of the blown capacitor shown in my picture, can you help me? Where can I get those schematics? I really need them. Thanks. Alessandro
be very careful when you cut the tape. I really advise you to buy the pizza cutter-style tool. With the plastic card I broke my screen :(
